Two teens were riding a moped last Thursday in Oconee County, near Seneca when they collided with a pick-up truck at around 10:30 p.m. One of the 17-year-old riders died at the scene; the other was pronounced dead at the hospital an hour or so later. Neither teen was wearing their helmets.

Driving on the roads at night can be very dangerous; this fact is especially true for motorcyclists and moped drivers who are especially vulnerable to injury or death on the road. So it’s important that motorists stay aware of motorcycles, bikers, and moped riders; and, riders stay visible to other drivers as well.
